I've considered that kit. The power supply has far too little amperage it appears to add the fourth axis, and I'm reevaluating my secondary spindle decision - I'm highly considering adding the Quiet...

Been still researching:

How to control the G0704 spindle with the G540? I couldn't find a wiring diagram anywhere. (404 - PAGE NOT FOUND is a dead link now.) Still no luck here.

So no comments on the actual enclosure? C'mon gentlemen! :-)

So I was daydreaming, and got a handful of connectors and misc electronics parts from work, which made me think I needed something to put them in.

So I jumped the shark and decided to design the...

Do we have or does anybody have, some good detailed CAD models (SolidWorks, STEP or IGES) of the G540 and Super PID? I am looking to construct a nicely 3D printed enclosure for my CNC electronics...

Hey all, is the blackfoot CNC rigid enough to router .1 6061-T6 sheet, and to drill .125 6061-T6 stock?

Having trouble figuring out the most economic method for building the top of the BlackFoot table...it needs to be 2 layers of 10' x 52" x 3/4 birch ply or MDF (haven't decided on material...

Hey Hoss,

In your opinon, will I need to do any modifications as far as the motor goes to be able to mill AR15 lower recievers and pistol frames? (<disclaimer> For personal use only, of course....

Awesome! I'll have to compare your notes to my modification - I had this all modeled up for the G0704. If you have any interest in exploded diagrams and/or solidworks files, let me know.

And would this work to drive the power drawbar: McMaster-Carr ?

Would the nominal width of the G0704 head be 4.724"?

Dumb question. Just realized how this mounted to the head. I would have to lengthen to the width of the G0704 head.

Then what modifications would I need to make right off the bat to your system, Hoss? Or is it straight across compatible?

God, I've been working around engineers too much.....you should see this...

On the C11 and Keling Drivers, is the pin spacing standard so that I can use flat cable, pin headers, and locking IDC connectors?

Great. Thanks for the link. I will keep a coolant tank and 2x 50 pound bags of lead shot in it to give it a quick 100 pounds...and can remove or add as required. I do the same thing in my gun safes...

Stock and Fasteners shouldn't be a problem, nor the couplers. I have the taps, and can get a box easy. I have the steppers, a power switch and need an e-stop button.

Sounds like a great gig RPC!

I'm following djbird3's and LatheMaster's LMS HiTorque Threads as I am starting to think I'm going to use that as my base machine. Lots of good data.
